A wide knife must be centered on the slide
bar and be supported by at least two adjust-

screws to force the knife forward so that it
extends beyond the front edge of the slide
bar approximately

shown in Figure 18.
Note: The distance the knife extends beyond
the slide bar may vary depending on the

beyond the slide bar the same amount along
its length and that the supporting adjustment
screws are all making even contact with the

and attach the knife clamp to the slide bar
by hand-tightening the five lock screws, as

use the fine ruler to re-check the distance the
knife extends from the slide bar.
— if the distance is not correct or the same
along the full length of the knife, slightly
loosen the knife clamp lock knobs and
adjust the slide bar adjustment screws until
the extended distance is correct. then, re-
tighten the jam nut and clamp lock knobs
and check the distance again. if necessary,
repeat this process until the distance is cor-
rect and the knife is securely clamped.
